The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a life expectancy of 9-14 years.  They usually mimic the lifestyle of their owners and can be as energetic or relaxed as they are, that being said they require at least 20 minutes of exercise a day to stay healthy. They have a low tendency to bark, snore, drool and dig but this varies on the dog. They are social creatures and require a lot of attention to stay happy.

To reduce shedding and maintain their glossy tricolored coat they should be brushed every couple days.  Baths are when needed but to clean them thoroughly, they will need to be shampooed twice due to their double layered coat. Dental hygiene is also important so it is crucial that the dog either has a tooth cleaning chew or has their teeth brushed regularly. With regular grooming, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is a low maintenance dog to keep.
